Facial Veinwave - Removing Spider Veins

Spider veins are annoying and unattractive. It's bad enough when they are located on your hips and thighs but when they are on your face it can be even worse. Having them removed can be painful and leave scars which can be worse than having the spider veins in the first place. There is a treatment option though that can rid you of those unwanted spider veins without causing more damage than you're already experiencing. That treatment is called facial veinwave.

What is the facial veinwave treatment? It is a relatively new procedure that uses a process called thermocoagulation to treat spider veins. Thermocoagulation is used to heat and close the vessel instantly. Once the site is cleaned, your doctor will use a fine needle to administer the treatment under the skin. The needle will not pierce the actual vein. That means that in about fifteen minutes, your face can be spider vein free. No more pain or other side effect and no more embarrassment. This procedure was designed for areas that are difficult to treat, so you don't have to worry about going under the knife.

Because it's relatively new a lot of people might not want to try it out. After all, new procedures aren't always the most proven choices. The great part about the new facial veinwave procedure is that it's relatively painless. Most patients said there was a sensation of a pinprick at the location but that was all. There was no burning that can happen with other spider vein treatments. This procedure also keeps the risk of scars to a minimum and there is no bruising at the site. You don't have to take any time off work in order to have this treatment performed, and with it only taking about fifteen minutes, you can do it on your lunch hour.

There are some slight restrictions on who can have the facial veinwave procedure. You must be in good health with thin spider veins. You may also suffer from a condition known as telangiesctasia, or tangled, thread-like veins. If you do and are in good health then you qualify too. This procedure can only be performed on adults at this time as well. If you are epileptic, have a bleeding disorder, pregnant, or a pacemaker then you will not qualify to be a candidate for this procedure.

If you have any further questions you need to speak to your specialist. He can help you decide if this treatment is right for you. He can also help to determine if you qualify to be a facial veinwave candidate and, if not, what you need to do to become eligible.
